Abstract
The accuracy and efficiency of the modelling techniques utilized to model the nonlinear behavior of structural components is a significant issue in earthquake engineering. In this study, the sufficiency of three different modelling techniques that can be employed to simulate the structural behavior of columns is investigated. A fiber-based finite length plastic hinge (FB-FLPH) model is calibrated in this study. In order to calibrate the FB-FLPH model, a novel database of the cyclic behavior of hollow steel columns under simultaneous axial and lateral loading cycles with varying amplitudes is used. By employing the FB-FLPH model calibrated in this study, the interaction of the axial force and the bending moment in columns is directly taken into account, and the deterioration in the cyclic behavior of these members is implicitly considered. The superiority of the calibrated FB-FLPH modelling approach is examined compared with the cases in which conventional fiber-based distributed plasticity and concentrated plasticity models are utilized. The efficiency of the enumerated modelling techniques is probed when they are implemented to model the columns of a typical special moment frame in order to prove the advantage of the FB-FLPH modelling approach.
